Notes
1] Albert Einstein's theory of relativity shows that space and time are relative to one another and thus that,for example, the faster one person moves relative to someone else who is standing still (the more space one traverses), the less that person will age, again in comparison to the other. In quantum mechanics, light is regarded as either a wave or a particle, depending on whether or not it is being observed.
